While on her route on Monday, Chambers noticed the teen waving her down. At first, she thought the girl was simply trying to catch a missed bus, but when the girl walked in front of the bus, Chambers noticed she was crying. Chambers stopped, and when the girl boarded, she told Chambers that a man had been following her and even tried to pull her into his car.

“I thought she was just running to catch the bus, but as she walked in front of the bus I noticed she was crying,” Chambers told NBC's Milwaukee affiliate TMJ4. “I told her to get on the bus and let her know no one was going to mess with her on my bus.”

Chambers quickly departed from the stop and called the Milwaukee County Transit System dispatch, who notified the police. Chambers and the teenager waited at a different location for the police to arrive, and Chambers called the young girl's grandmother to tell her what had happened.

“Don’t worry about it. You are safe. I will fight for you; no one is going to hurt you," Chambers can be heard saying on surveillance video documenting the incident.

Chambers has spent 12 years as a driver for the Milwaukee County Transit System and has received numerous accolades for her service. Unsurprisingly, her handling of this recent situation has earned her well-deserved praise from both the public and her employer.

“Sharon Chambers is a wonderful example of how even small acts of kindness and compassion can have a large impact," Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele told TMJ4. "Sharon, and all the other hardworking employees at MCTS and Milwaukee County, make me proud to live in Milwaukee and serve as County Executive. Thank you, Sharon.”
